ANDOVER, Mass. and OTTAWA, Nov. 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SiGe
Semiconductor, Inc., a leading supplier of silicon-based radio frequency (RF)
front end modules (FEMs) and power amplifiers (PAs), has been named a finalist
for the Global Semiconductor Alliance's 2010 'Most Respected Private
Semiconductor Company' Award. The winner will be announced during GSA's Awards
Dinner on 9 December 2010 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon
Valley.

According to the GSA, the Most Respected Private Semiconductor Company Award '
is designed to identify the private company garnering the most respect of the
industry in terms of its products, vision and future opportunity.' This is the
second nomination for SiGe Semiconductor in the company's history for an award
that is one of the most prestigious recognitions of private companies in the
semiconductor industry. Previous winners include industry leaders such as
NVIDIA, Marvell Semiconductor, Atheros Communications, Cavium Networks,
AuthenTec and Open-Silicon.

SiGe's Chief Executive Officer and President, Sohail Khan, commented, 'we are
delighted to receive the recognition of the GSA for our work in advancing
silicon-based RF front end solutions for wireless connectivity applications in
consumer electronics. Our leadership in establishing the fabless model for RF
front end manufacturing, the strength of our development and operations teams
in leveraging the advantages of silicon for RF front end products, and our
dedication to outstanding customer support have set SiGe Semiconductor apart as
a leader in the RF industry. We hope to emulate the success of the companies
previously recognized by the GSA for this distinction as we continue to grow

our presence and contribution to the wireless connectivity industry.'
